Description:
There are some inconsistencies between help page and implementation.
I checked generators and got the following errors, some may be errors in the help page - others may be errors (or missing implementation?) in the API.
from API help page:
generator - One value: allpages, logevents, watchlist, recentchanges, backlinks, embeddedin, imageusage, usercontribs, info, revisions, links, langlinks, images, templates, categories, extlinks
